  The "Sled" was developed in
the mid-1990's for sensing moisture of seed cotton entering the gin on a
conveyor belt. Today, the Sled II (pictured left) works even faster, is more
rugged, and requires less space (only 24") to install. For an even more compact setting,
the Hot Box II (pictured right) can be equipped with a Sled II as part of its
inlet gate. This requires 0" of belt space reserved for moisture sensing!
Each of these sensors remain the fastest device available for sensing wet
cotton and setting the drying temperature accordingly. Fast response gives
the gin operator the margin of comfort he needs to operate at lower
temperatures. This saves fuel, staple, and production.
Both of these sensors are capable of automatically adjusting their settings
based on signals from on-line cotton classing systems like the Uster Intelligin.
